Lossless classics

You surely have seen in your life such a situation: when a very important person died, the program on TV was changed or there were some extraordinary documentaries about.When Mario Del Monaco died in 1982, the world should have stand still for a moment, but nothing happened: no extra docus about him on TV, no changed programs….what a shame. These were the words of my beloved uncle, the greatest fan of Super-Mario, who made of me also a great operatic lover and fan of Del Monaco. So many records of Del Monaco I’ve posted (and still I will post in the near future) are part of his collection, that he wanted me to get, when his time was coming.Tell me: have you ever heard Mario singing Wagner? (Walküre + Lohengrin on Vol.3)Please, enjoy the world greatest opera singer ever!!!!!!!

Wow… such tremendous a musical instrument he had. People these days should take a step back in time to listen to each and every tone that he sung… it would be soothing to our very being. Lord knows we need some soothing moments these days. Bravo!

What a masculine, virile tenor non pareil.
I had all these in American Editions by London ffrr.
But of course not in 24/96 Hi deff.
I couldn’t be more grateful Paisano!
Thanks again and again and again.

And may this Christmas and New Year be especially blessed for you and your family.
Thanks for all the music you have shared!
I grew up with Del Monaco in the 1950’s.
One of his first albums I got was a 10″ heavy London vinyl.
His huge voice was scintillating, and made me want to sing opera. What a joke that was. I stuck with listening.
Kindly,
Bob

really great singer and interpreter.
The Ace of Diamonds (and other London/Decca aces) were released on a very quiet vinyl mass with more clear and transparent sound and less surface noise, hiss and distortions, than that of the very first original releases cherished by the collectors.
cheers! and lot of thanks.
